  • Marketed

    Yesterday I went somewhere really neat: the farmers market! The girl wanted me to experience a really big one so we went to Cedar Rapids. Our first mission when we got there was to find some breakfast food because we were hungry. We walked around looking for breakfast sandwiches and then we saw this food Read more

  • Discovered

    Yesterday was the 4th of July or Independence Day as some people call it, and I had a completely wild adventure after the girl got done taking pictures of a parade for her job. We met up with her friend and went to Big Grove Brewery but this time we went to a different one Read more

  • Recognized

    This weekend was another super exciting one. Instead of waiting for Saturday to go on an adventure, the girl took me to work with her on Friday so that we could go to Big Grove afterwards. I got to meet one of her coworkers when they went out on an assignment, and she was really Read more

  • Transported

    The girl’s birthday was this weekend, and she said there were two things she needed to do to celebrate: go to Lake Michigan and eat fish and chips. Lake Michigan is 227 miles away from where we live, so we had to drive five hours to get there. We had to cross two state lines, Read more

  • Quad Citied

    Now I’ve turned an Iowa destination into a verb, how do you like that? Yesterday was absolutely wild. I visited two of the Quad Cities — the Iowa ones — and I think I saw more people in one afternoon than I’ve ever seen in my life. The girl’s friend came by in the morning, Read more

  • Gifted

    Yesterday was Memorial Day. After the girl got done taking pictures of flags and honor guards for her job, her friend picked us up and we took a walk to one of our favorite places — Big Grove Brewery. Our server, Anna, noticed me and asked about my work as a blogger. I shared my Read more

  • Wowed

    This weekend I saw the second-longest river in North America — the Mississippi! I walked along it with the girl and her friend for about two miles. I saw a place where corn kernels and soybeans get loaded onto ships, and I saw tug boats pushing barges up and down the river. It was a Read more

  • Amused

    For three days this week I’ve been left home alone while the girl went to work. I thought she might take me along one day, but she said she has a coworker who might put me up on the ceiling fan while she isn’t looking, so I haven’t gone along yet. Amusing myself at home Read more

  • Doubled

    This morning there was a wonderful breeze coming in from the window when the girl got out of bed, and I thought, there’s no way I want to leave this place right now. She wasn’t sure about leaving me home alone while she went to work, but I assured her that if I could survive Read more

  • Named

    After two days of being called Fluffy and Furry and things like that, the girl decided that my real name should be Jones. She calls me Jonesy, which she said shows endearment, and I rather like it. To celebrate, the girl’s friend came over and the three of us went out for a day of Read more
